Mr. Chair, I think the committee member has misinterpreted my speech.
Indeed, I said that neither scholarships nor the average value of grants had risen over the past several decades. I want to clear up any confusion there may have been.
Furthermore, Canada is not the only country in this situation, but it is unique in terms of the gap between its low investment in research and the average among OECD countries. Obviously, this trend needs to be reversed. I've already expressed that very clearly in public. I'm not hiding any facts from the committee.
